Manage groups and assignments
Organise learners into groups and assign courses with clear seat and deadline rules.
Updated 25 September 2026
Open Organisation > Team to create groups and manage membership. Groups provide a
reusable audience for assignments and let Group Admins work only with the learners
they are authorised to manage.
Only organisation Admins can create, rename or delete groups. Admins manage group membership; Group Admins can also manage members when that permission is explicitly delegated for their groups. Learning Managers can assign courses to existing groups and review learning progress. If no groups exist, ask an Admin to create one.
On desktop pages with a second navigation rail, the automatic sidebar stays expanded so both sets of links remain accessible. You can still choose the collapsed sidebar setting.
Only organisation Admins can change automatic assignment for new group members. Other authorised managers can view whether it is on or off.
Assignments during early access
Active organisation members can learn through assignments without a separate
early-access grant. Authorised managers can add eligible free public courses and buy
course licences through Organisation → Explore, then assign them from the Library.
The usual permissions and available-licence requirements apply.
An assignment consumes an available paid licence where required; it does not create
a card charge or a new account. Use an organisation invitation to onboard a new member
while public self-sign-up is closed. Account and membership checks still apply.
Assign a course
Before assigning a course, confirm that the organisation library has enough available
seats. Assigning one prepaid seat to one learner claims that seat; it does not create a
second course charge. A learner already assigned to the same course should not consume
another seat.
Choose the learners or group, select the course, and add a due date when the programme
needs one. Review the assignment summary before confirming. Changes to group
membership and individual assignment rules can affect who remains in scope, so review
exceptions after editing a group.
For permissions, read Manage team access.
